Versatile Final Amplifier
Only a few years ago, many music lovers turned up their noses on seeing a hybrid circuit or integrated circuit in a final amplifier, but now there is a new generation of output stage ICs that have been specially designed for use in highquality audio amplifiers.The Variable Final Amplifier is built using ST Microelectronics TDA7293 ICs, which have MOS outputs stages. This integrated power amplifier IC is a successor to the TDA7294, which was described a long time ago in an Elektor Electronics data sheet (May 1993) based on an SGS Thomson product announcement. Evidently SGS Thomson experienced difficulties in the development of this IC, since it took three full years until the IC appeared on the market. However, at the end of 1996 it was ready, and it was used in the 50-W A.F. Amplifier (November 1996 issue), which has been built by many hobbyists.
